Google data center in Minnesota to run on Xcel’s 1.9 GW clean-energy expansion

Xcel Energy will power Google's new Pine Island data center in Minnesota under an Electric Service Agreement that will add 1,900 MW of new clean energy—1,400 MW wind, 200 MW solar, and 300 MW long-duration storage—plus a 300 MW/100-hour Form Energy iron-air battery (about 30 GWh). Google will cover its service costs, and the package includes a $50 million Capacity*Connect investment; the Minnesota Public Utilities Commission will review the agreement. The move aims to support Minnesota’s economy and energy goals while keeping current customers’ bills stable.

Nvidia's Five-Year Stock Outlook: Big AI Growth, Slower Gains Ahead

Nvidia’s AI-driven data-center growth supports strong near-term momentum, with its latest quarter showing rapid revenue expansion and AI demand remaining robust. But over five years, pricing power may erode as customers develop in-house chips and price competition intensifies, implying more normalized returns. A five-year forecast using 10–12% annual compounding suggests a stock price around $303–$331 from today's roughly $189, signaling solid but slower gains rather than another multi-year surge.

Lenders Pause on $4B Lancaster AI Data Center as Blue Owl Fails to Secure Debt

Blue Owl Capital could not arrange debt financing for a $4 billion AI-focused data center in Lancaster, PA co-developed with CoreWeave, with lenders citing CoreWeave’s below-investment-grade credit (B+). Blue Owl has about $500 million in bridge financing due by March 2026; if new debt isn’t secured, the project could face substantial construction costs despite Blue Owl’s assertion that the development is fully funded and on track. The financing hiccup highlights the rising risk in funding hyperscale AI infrastructure.

AMD slips despite AI-driven China sales bump and solid guidance

AMD beat Q4 estimates on earnings and revenue and guided Q1 above consensus, buoyed by about $390 million in MI308 chip sales to China that fed AI demand. But the company offered no major new customer wins, and higher operating expenses offset better margins, leaving investors unsure when operating leverage will improve as next-gen chips like MI450/Helios ramp later this year.
